Bath re-enamelling near Bascote Heath

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Bath re-enamelling in Bascote Heath without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bascote Heath. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Warwickshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Bascote Heath questions

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
